Information session
Wholesale + export readiness

ABOUT THE EVENT+
LIGNES DE FUITE is developing a six-month mentoring program for four Canadian brands, built around participation at JILL Paris. Meet Milan Tanedjikov to discuss the program, readiness criteria and commitments, followed by questions.
LIGNES DE FUITE — Studio 3284710 Rue Saint-Ambroise, Studio 328, Montréal, QC H4C 2C7, Canada
During Open Studio. Discussion in French and English.
This session is for you if you have
- A defined brand identity and a developed collection.
- Samples or prototypes and a realistic route to production.
- The commitment to prospect buyers and follow through on orders.
Six months around a participation at JILL Paris
Working timetable: early July 2027 to early January 2028. The proposed JILL dates are October 1–4, 2027, subject to confirmation by the show.
- 01
Before the trade show
Prepare the commercial offer, pricing and margins, lookbook and sales documents. Identify and prospect buyers, arrange appointments, and connect sales commitments to production capacity and cash flow.
- 02
JILL Paris
Each brand participates under its own name, accompanied by LIGNES DE FUITE. The show is the setting for meeting buyers, presenting collections and agreeing on clear next steps.
- 03
After the trade show
Follow up with buyers and confirm orders. Track production, delivery and payment collection, then equip retailers to sell the goods. Review results and prepare a future independent participation, including its budget and funding applications.
Product development continues outside the program, in parallel. Its costs and deadlines are part of commercial and financial planning. The goal is a repeatable method brands can use independently, including for a spring 2028 show.
Process Visual / JILL Paris
Process Visual’s participation at JILL Paris in 2026: the collection, stand preparation and the setting of the show.
Photographs: Jessy. JILL graphic supplied with the series.
Funding, fees and participation arrangements are being developed. The session will explain where the project stands and take your questions. Reserving a place at this meeting is separate from applying to the program.
